Choosing a Wedding Dress the Second Time Around By Yolanda Nash

Did you know that long before 1840, when Queen Victoria selected her wedding gown to be white, thereby setting a wedding gown trend, which is still filtering down today as a tradition symbol of purity, that many brides wore their very best dress while walking down the isle? Many a first time bride have taken their own stroll down the isle wearing white since that time. It was at one time considered uncouth to be a second time bride and wear white. However, in this day and time, if you are a second or even seventh time bride, you are still a new bride at the time of your wedding. And that is exactly what this occasion is, your wedding. This means you get to share your special wedding day with the new love in your life. Therefore, you and your new husband to be are the one’s who decide what is what with your wedding plans, from the location of your wedding, your wedding favors as well as your wedding theme and color, including the clothes you wear.

In today’s world, a woman is free to make up her own mind what she wishes to wear to her own wedding, even if it does make her maiden aunt feel a wee bit uncomfortable. Even though it is a symbol of purity, the purity it speaks of is a pure heart filled with love. Keep in mind that there have also been a great many brides who have worn white as it is traditional when in all reality, perhaps white was not as flattering a color as another color would have been for dressing a new bride for her wedding. A wedding dress in all simplicity is merely a dress that is worn while being married. Moreover, the best choice of a wedding dress is a bridal gown that makes you feel beautiful. A beautiful wedding dress no matter its color is one that will compliment the bride and show off her becoming glow of a woman filled with joy at the time of her marriage.

Therefore, a new bride being married for the second or seventh time, if you would like to wear white and the color becomes you, then wear white. As well off whites, such as ecru, eggshell and ivory have risen in popularity just as a colorful rainbow of pastels for choices in a wedding gown. The point is your wedding dress should reflect your very own personality as well as your fashion sense and your lifestyle. Some brides have even been known to walk down their wedding isle bare as the day they were born, so any choice of color in wedding gowns for any new bride should be just fine with anyone.

Secondly, while shopping for new wedding attire, you may very well pick out a nice, classy, tailor made pant suit if that is what your feel the most flattering and comfortable wearing. On the other hand, you may choose to wear a cocktail length dress. Deciding on the perfect bridal attire should be factored in with other elements of your wedding such as the formality, time of day and size of your wedding ceremony and its reception. Of course, you will also want to consider a gown or suit that would flatter your body type while down playing any flaws you find, as well the wedding outfit should highlight your best features.
